Notes to the consolidated financial statements<br />

impairment for receivables both in form of specific and collective allowances. All individually<br />

significant receivables are assessed for specific allowance (e.g. due to the probability of<br />

insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor). All individually significant receivables<br />

found not to be specifically impaired are assessed for collective allowance that has been<br />

incurred but not yet identified. Receivables that are not individually significant are not tested<br />

specifically for impairment but assessed for collective allowance by grouping together<br />

receivables with similar risk characteristics.<br />

The carrying amount of receivables is reduced through use of an allowance account if<br />

necessary. Doubtful debts are written off when they are assessed uncollectible.<br />

2.4 Inventories<br />

Raw materials, consumables, supplies, finished goods and merchandise are recorded<br />

at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is generally determined using a weighted<br />

average cost formula in accordance with IAS 2.<br />

2.5 Financial Instruments<br />

Recognition and Write off of Financial Instruments<br />

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Group enters into a contractual<br />

relationship with the respective counterparty or issuer. A financial asset is written off when:<br />

• the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset expire;<br />

• the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset but has assumed an<br />

obligation to pay those cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a<br />

‘pass-through’ arrangement; or<br />

• the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has<br />

transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred<br />

nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset but has transferred control of<br />

the asset.<br />

A financial liability is written off when the obligation under the liability is discharged,<br />

canceled or expired.<br />

Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another one from the same lender on<br />

substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such<br />

an exchange or modification is treated as a write off of the original liability and the recognition of<br />

a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recorded in the<br />

consolidated statement of income.
